TOURNAMENTS

Before starting the tournament players establish the amount to be played and they quote the "table stake", e.g. 100.000$ for each player. Thus, with 6 players, the tournament is played for 600.000$.

Having started the game, each player receives 3000 credit points instead of the stake the tournament is played for. The dollars which have been bet are transferred to the common pot.

The game is played for credit points.

Each player who does not have money to pay the bring-in amount drops out of the tournament automatically and is transferred to the Watcher position. If a player has e.g. 990 credit points and the bring-in stake is 1000, then the points are evenly shared by all the remaining players. The player who is the only one to remain in game at the end of the tournament, receives the amount of money the tournament has been played for, which is 600.000$.

The call and raise stakes in tournaments are established depending on the tournament round players are currently in. In each dealing ANTE equals double TABLE STAKE. The chart below presents the structure of betting.

Each tournament round consists of 10 games. Having completed every 10th game (which entails stakes) the round turns into another one. The final round is played until only one player remains in the game.

Each tournament can start when at least two players sit at the table.
